MAYER VibesConnect Turns Their Vibes MD850 Synthesizer Into A ‘SynthStation’
MAYER EMI has introduced VibesConnect, a browser-based user interface that significantly expands the capabilities of their Vibes MD850 synthesizer.
VibesConnect connects the device directly to a computer or tablet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, with no additional drivers or USB cables needed.
VibesConnect enables the convenient control of the Clip Launcher, the creation and editing of sequences, and the easy exchange of files. This effectively transforms the device into a SynthStation in DAW Mode: a self-contained production and performance tool that combines studio workflows with the independence of dedicated hardware.
What they have to say about it:
“VibesConnect enables live musicians to establish a seamless and intuitive workflow from sound design in the studio to live performance with the Vibes MD850 SynthStation.
In the studio, users benefit from the comfort and connectivity of a computer. On stage, the Vibes MD850 SynthStation is fully standalone and can be connected to other equipment or serve as the center of a larger setup where multiple devices are linked together.”
What Exactly is a ‘SynthStation’ ?
Mayer EMI describes the Vibes MD850 as a “SynthStation”, describing it as a 4-devices-in-one-box solution:
- 4-part multitimbral true stereo synth
- Drum Machine,
- Digital Mixer, and
- Sequencer/Clip Launcher—which can also be controlled browser-based in DAW Mode.
VibesConnect will be available as a free update starting October 15, 2025. The Vibes MD850 is available with an MSRP of €2,299.00.
